A method for providing a urinary tract tissue graft composition includes
providing a tissue culture frame and a segment of small intestinal
submucosa and positioning the segment of small intestinal submucosa in
the tissue culture frame such that the segment of small intestinal
submucosa is suspended and held in a taut position by the tissue culture
frame. Smooth muscle and urothelial cells are isolated from a tissue
specimen of a subject and cultured, and then seeded upon the segment of
small intestinal submucosa, thereby forming a urinary tract tissue graft.
A tissue culture frame in which such a urinary tract tissue graft may be
formed is also disclosed.
